Rolls-Royce leads new space station project on MOON- UK to make ‘significant strides’

The high-power Space Reactor will provide a major boost to human exploration of the Moon, Mars and beyond, providing continuity of power for critical operations.

Additionally, this technology will power the generation of water, breathable oxygen and rocket fuels from human Lunar and Martian exploration missions.

Another project will focus on developing new imaging technology which can withstand the high radiation levels on Mars, allowing researchers to study it better.

A third project set to receive funding will involve building a communications tool for astronauts to tackle the delay in conversations between Mars and Earth.
